Boyd Chemiclean Red Slime Cyano Bacteria Remover
Information

Cynobacteria is usually encouraged with the presence of nitrate and ammonia, which are both fixed forms of nitrogen. Chemi-clean helps clean and remove this problem algae through its own unique process. Most other red slime removers use purely antibiotics, namely erythromycin to take care of the algae. The use of such substances with in your aquarium can have disastrous effects upon your nitrifying bacteria and cause your tank to crash, killing the inhabitants of your aquarium.

The use of chemi-clean not only as a problem solver, when red slime is present, but as a regular maintenance procedure will help keep your water crystal clear and your tank free of unwanted cynobacteria.

For best results, turn off UV sterilizer or Ozonizer and Protein Skimmer. Remove Chemi-Pure or Carbon Filtration for 24 hours following each treatment.

It is advisable to do at least a 20% water change after full treatment.

You must use an air stone when using Chemi-Clean. Place airstone in the aquarium prior to and during treatment.

Boyd Enterprises Aquarium SuppliesBoyd Enterprises was founded in 1962 by Dick Boyd, who had been working in aquarium stores since 1947 at the age of 17. He had a love and passion for building and maintaining aquariums as a hobby. Through his constant experimentation to create his own filtration techniques, he developed the world renowned Chemi-pure - the original ion filter medium. In 1955, Dick Boyd along with three others founded the first Marine Aquarium Society in the United States. In 1972, he and his wife Linda, moved into a house large enough so he could build his dream aquarium. It took two years, but by 1974 Mr. Boyd had constructed a 3,000 gallon aquarium that was home to various corals, fish and invertebrates. Boyd Enterprises strives to keep up Dick’s level of Excellence, quality and customer service.

Comments:The cynobacteria was starting to get a foothold in my 120 mixed reef tank So I decided to give Boyd's Chemi Clean a try, I have liked they're other products so I gave this one a whirl. The product works great my tank is clean remove all of the red slime I did a water change and turned on my skimmer a week later.
The thing I did not like about the bottle is it is difficult to count 120 drops sometimes you get a squirt now is that 5 drops etc, What would have been much more useful is a chart showing how many ml/gallon chart that would make it short and sweet.

Comments:This product works extremely well with simple instructions. I had a bad outbreak of Cyano bacteria and was unable to get it under control with water changes and API Algaefix. I checked my water source with a TDS test and it wasn't the water source. I ordered Chemiclean Wednesday night and it was delivered Friday. Applied it the same day after work and Saturday morning 90% of the cyano bacteria - GONE!!!! Thanks MarineDepot for the great product info and fast service. My 8-gal reef looks awesome again!

Comments:I had the same problem as the post before me, followed instructions to dose at 100%. Had very, very bad cyano problem. Could pull out carpet like sections off of the sand, and it was growing on rocks as well. I only had to use once so far and it was completely gone in less the the 48 hours. I left my skimmer running per instructions and adjusted it as it will kick in like crazy and you won't be able to keep up. I added very heavy air bubbles to the tank with a power head, fish and coral did very well, coral didn't miss a beat opening as always. Great! product!

Comments:Followed instructions to dose at 100%. Had very, very bad cyano problem. Could pull out carpet like sections off of the sand, and it was growing on rocks as well. Had to use twice, but problem appears to be gone, and has stayed gone for about a week now. Have no idea if this matters, but left protein skimmer running for first treatment, and the first treatment did not seem to work so well. Turned off skimmer for second treatment, and it seemed to work better, but don't know if this was because of skimmer or because it was the second treatment. Got the big (900 gallon) size for my 120 gal so I can nail it early if I see it come back. Didn't know what it was the first time until it had gained a mighty foothold on the tank. As for tank inhabitants, no harm seems to have come to anything, even inverts like lettuce sea slugs. Would easily recommend.

Comments:I have found the Chemiclean product to work as it says it does every time something goes out of whack and the dreaded RED algae(bacteria)starts up. I have many SPS & LFS corals as well as fish and inverts, and the product has never hurt any of them.

Comments:All my parameters are optimum pretty much all of the time. This time I just could not get the Cyano under control. I am very much against dosing my reef with any type of medication. I battled for months through water changes, syphoning, under feeding, removing carbon dosing, and then finally broke down and ordered Chemiclean.
I followed the directions exactly along with aeriating like crazy and the only thing I lost was the Cyano. My tank is back to sparkling and all of the SPS look more brillant than ever!
I couldn't be more pleased.
The only downside is that you can't use your skimmer for several days after treatment, but I will take that little inconvenience over the Red Slime any day!

It Works!

Comments:One of the few products that I can easily and unequivocally say that it does what it's supposed to do. Instructions are simple, the process is simple, and if you follow the instructions and give it a couple of days, it will clean out your red slime like nobody's business. No corals or livestock were harmed in the process. Your skimmer, however, will be bubbling like crazy, so be prepared to make some adjustments.
